Kendal Sanders, 13, is out of the hospital, and her family is opening up about what happened during the school shooting at Berrendo Middle School. Sanders' parents say their 13-year-old is a person who looks out for everybody.

"She's like a little mother. She takes care of everybody," Kendal's father, Bert Sanders, said Monday.

Bert and Nickie Sanders say their daughter immediately led her friends to a nearby classroom after state police said Mason Campbell fired a shotgun three times in the school's gym. The teen didn't realize she'd been shot until a teacher asked her to lock the door.

"She felt the pain, when she went to unlock the door for the teacher, she couldn't because of the pain," Mr. Sanders said.

The teen had been shot in the right arm. Since the day of the shooting, her parents said Kendal has undergone two surgeries at a Lubbock hospital. Now back at home, she's still unable to move her arm.

At Monday's news conference at Roswell's "Church on the Move," the Sanders family asked the community to continue to pray for their daughter and pray for the recovery of the other boy critically injured in the shooting, Nathaniel Tavares, 12.

Mr. Sanders said religion should be integrated in schools to avoid shootings in the future.

"We've got to bring God back to school. We took God out of school, this is what happens," he said.

The entire Sanders family said they've forgiven Campbell, who was a friend of Kendal's and studied alongside her at Bible Vacation School.

Mr. Sanders called Campbell a "good kid" who did something wrong and the entire family wants the Roswell community to pray for Campbell, too.
